I can't find any sources for the thing about the Tom Petty tribute band, and the contributor IP's other addition looks like possible vandalism (with the IP having a history of such behavior). Feel free to insert them back in IF you can provide a legitimate source. -Colin Kimbrell 22:54, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here you go ---> http://www.texasgigs.com/bands/petty-theft/ it appears that you didn't look hard enough, like possibly Google-ing "mike rhyner petty theft" and clicking the first link that pops up. Their official website can be found at www.pettytheftband.com -Monosylab1k 10:13, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good enough; I'd swear that wasn't there when I checked it a few days ago. I've added the band's page as a citation. -Colin Kimbrell 18:53, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia:Verifiability policy states that Information on Wikipedia must be reliable. Facts, viewpoints, theories, and arguments may only be included in articles if they have already been published by reliable and reputable sources. Articles should cite these sources whenever possible. Any unsourced material may be challenged and removed.

The article for Wikipedia:Reliable_sources says A primary source is a document or person providing direct evidence of a certain state of affairs; in other words, a source very close to the situation you are writing about. The term most often refers to a document produced by a participant in an event or an observer of that event. It could be an official report, an original letter, a media account by a journalist who actually observed the event, or an autobiography. Statistics compiled by an authoritative agency are considered primary sources. In general, Wikipedia articles should not depend on primary sources but rather on reliable secondary sources who have made careful use of the primary-source material. Most primary-source material requires training to use correctly, especially on historical topics. Wikipedia articles may use primary sources only if they have been published by a reliable publisher e.g. trial transcripts published by a court stenographer, or historic documents that appear in edited collections. We may not use primary sources whose information has not been made available by a reliable publisher. See Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Verifiability

With these policies in mind, the unreferenced quotes and events must be removed.

Also, I'd like to share a comment MartinRe made on my talk page. "As to using audio archives as a source, I would agree that they are a verifiable source (although dates would be required, just like references to publications on paper), however, I would not regarded them as a reliable source, and would perfer secondary sources, especially when referring to living people, as per WP:BLP. Also, it should be noted that analysis of the primary source (i.e. the radio program) rather than direct reporting, would be classed as original research, which is not accepted at wikipedia.

Notability?

Nothing against Mike, I used to listen to his football show -- but does he really meet the WP "notability" standard? I have to wonder if this page wasn't just posted by a fan of the band. --Michael K Smith^Talk 17:43, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
